Delivered personally by Andre Boer, director of KROHNE Netherlands.

With this the capacity for flow calibration has increased exponentially: the facility in Dordrecht had a maximum flow of 400m<sup>3<\/sup>\/h. With this new capacity VSL can facilitate the growing demand for calibrating large flow meters.<\/p>\n<p>Many more meters will follow after the delivery of the first meter today, from national to international meter manufacturers. But also meters already used in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Chief metrologist Erik Smits:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In the new European Center for Flow Measurement we can calibrate even more accurately, this includes meters with a larger diameter. Furthermore this new and more advanced installation can also calibrate liquid measurement instruments for sustainable and renewable liquids. With this we can make a substantial contribution to the energy transition.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;full_width_responsive dg-padding-none&#8221;][vc_column_text]The new facilitity will have its grand opening on the 28th of March.
